Former Houston head coach Guy Lewis died Thursday at the age of 93, vice president of athletics Hunter Yurachek announced.

Lewis coached the Cougars from 1956-1986, and helped Houston to five Final Four appearances during that span. He accumulated 592 wins, and coached several Hall of Famers during his career, including Clyde Drexler, and Hakeem Olajuwon.

He is a member of both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and the College Basketball Hall of Fame.
